Letter-Press
V
Letter press printing in !4he graphic arts
means the direct application of inked type
and engravings or other type material to
paper.
It is the simplest of all graphic methods
of reproduction and at the same time the
most lasting. It was the method employed
by the medieval craftsmen who first ap
plied type to paper and it has persisted
throughout the centuries over all innova
tions, until today, when the best of crafts
manship is sought in a job, there is no al
ternative to letter press printing, along
with high grade paper and typographic
good taste.
We suggest that if you have some print
ing in view that you want well done, you
consult us. Simply telephone 5-1778 or — • .
else call at the office, 118 East Sixth St.,.
